I applied online. I interviewed at Electronic Arts (Vancouver, BC) in Aug 2022
Interview
It was my 3rd process trying a position as animator at EA.
Always starting with the recruiter. Then one or 2 other interviews. This time, only one after the recruiter. with a Supervisor and a Director. They both didn't seem interested in me or my work. They looked like they were just following protocol. Probably they already have someone else for the position

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Electronic Arts
Interview
The interview was a great experience. I had all the information, the recruiter provided all the necessary support. It didn't take them long to respond or to organize all the interviews. The animation test was fun, took less than an hour and was actually very insightful.

Dont think there's a defined question. You never know who will interview you. Just be a decent human being and you should be good :)
